Using thefirst electrodes 122 as the driving electrodes and thesecond electrodes 124 as the sensing electrodes as an example, the driving signal is transmitted to thefirst electrodes 122 through the signal lines (not shown) and a fringe electric field is formed between thefirst electrodes 122 and thesecond electrodes 124. When a conductive object (such as a finger) touches the operating surface, the fringe electric field corresponding to the touched area changes, and thesecond electrodes 124 receive the changed signals and transmit the signals through the signal lines connected with thesecond electrodes 124 to the signal transmission circuit (not shown, such as a flexible circuit board) and then to the a control circuit (not shown), so that the touch sensing position of the conductive object is detected. - As shown in
FIG. 1A , each of thefirst electrodes 122 includes a plurality of first electrode pads P1 and a plurality of bridge portions BR Each bridge portion BP crosses one of thesecond electrodes 124 to serially connect two neighboring first electrode pads P1 along a first direction D1. Eachsecond electrode 124 includes a plurality of second electrode pads P2 and a plurality of connecting portions CP. Each connecting portion CP serially connects two neighboring second electrode pads P2 along a second directions D2, and each connecting portion CP may be crossed by only one of the bridge portions BP. In other words, the bridge portions BP and the connecting portions CP have a one-to-one relationship; however, the disclosure is not limited to the above examples. The second direction D2 is different from the first direction D1, and the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1, for example. - The first electrode pads P1 and the
second electrodes 124 may belong the same conductive layer. Alternatively speaking, the first electrode pads P1 and thesecond electrodes 124 may use the same conductive material and are formed in the same patterning process. Considering the overall transmittance of thetouch panel 100, the material of the conductive layer may be a transparent conductive material. For example, the transparent conductive material may include, but is not limited to, nano silver. The bridge portions BP are formed subsequent to the formation of the conductive layer. Considering the signal transmission capability of the bridge portions BP, the material of the bridge portions BP may include metal. - Since the bridge portions BP and the conductive layer are formed with different materials and the reflectivity of metal is higher than that of a transparent material (such as nano silver), the bridge portions BP are easily perceived by the user when the bridge portions BP are designed in a straight-strip pattern. Accordingly, the bridge portions BP of an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure are not designed in a straight-strip pattern (a nonlinear design) and the edges of the bridge portions are blur to the viewer. Further, a nonlinear design renders the effective length EL of the bridge portions BP along the first direction D1 reduced. Therefore, according to the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, it is not essential to reduce the length or the width of the bridge portions BP itself to curtail the visibility (obviousness) of the bridge portions BP. The
touch panel 100 is provided with good visual effect without affecting the resistance of the bridge portions BP and the process yield. - It is noted that, the above bridge portions BP when being viewed from the direction D3 perpendicular to the element-disposing surface S1 adopt the nonlinear design. Further, the nonlinear design adopted by above bridge portions BP excludes only the design of the bridge portions BP being a straight-strip pattern; otherwise, the patterns of the bridge portions BP are not limited. Each bridge portion BP, aside from being designed in a zigzag pattern as shown in
FIG. 1A , it can be designed in a curvy pattern, a zigzag pattern or a combination thereof. As shown inFIG. 3A , each bridge portion BP1 is designed in a curvy pattern. Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 3B , each bridge portion BP2 may be formed with multiple curvy patterns and multiple zigzag patterns, and the combination arrangement of the multiple curvy patterns and the multiple zigzag patterns is not limited to the disclosure. - Referring to
FIGS. 1A and 1B again, to have thefirst electrodes 122 and thesecond electrodes 124 electrically insulated from each other, thetouch panel 100 may further include aninsulation layer 130. Theinsulation layer 130 may be a continuous insulating thin film. Theinsulation layer 130 covers the first electrode pads P1, thesecond electrodes 124 and element-disposing surface S1 exposed by the first electrode pads P1 and thesecond electrodes 124. Moreover, theinsulation layer 130 includes a plurality of openings O. Each opening O respectively exposes a partial area of one of the first electrode pads P1 to allow each bridge portion BP to serially connect two neighboring first electrode pads P1 through corresponding openings O. - In another exemplary embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 2 , a plurality of island-shapedpatterns 130 may be used to replace theinsulation layer 130, wherein each island-shapedpattern 130A is respectively disposed on one of the connecting portions CP, and each island-shapedpattern 130A may further cover the edges of the first electrode pads P1 that are the close to the connecting portion CP. Further, each bridge portion BP crosses one of the island-shapedpatterns 130A to serially connect two neighboring first electrode pads P1. - Moreover, the shape of each first electrode pads P1 and each second electrode pads P2 is not limited to the shape as illustrated in
FIG. 1A . As shown inFIG. 4 , when viewing from the direction D3 perpendicular to the element-disposing surface S1 (as marked inFIG. 1A ), the outline A1 of each of the first electrode pads P1 and the outline A2 of each of the second electrode pads P2 is respectively configured in a curvy pattern, a zigzag pattern or a combination thereof. Alternatively, each side of each first electrode pads P1 or each second electrode pads P2 may have a serrated or saw-toothed pattern to blur the edge of the electrode pad to thereby prevent the user from identifying a sharp outline. Therefore, the visual effect of thetouch panel 200 is improved. When a device including thetouch panel 200 also has a display function or when thetouch panel 200 is integrated with a display unit, the above design of the electrode pads can mitigate the Moiré phenomenon generated from the optical interference between the touch element and the pixel array, such that the visual quality may be improved. -
FIGS. 5 and 6 are sectional views of two touch display panels according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. For the sake of simplicity, a single film layer is depicted inFIGS. 5 and 6 to represent the stacked structure of the first electrodes, the second electrodes and the insulation layer (or the insulating pattern) as shown inFIG. 1B andFIG. 2 . Referring toFIG. 5 , thetouch display panel 10 in this exemplary embodiment includes a touch panel TP and a display unit DU. The touch panel TP may include thetouch panel 100 inFIG. 1A or thetouch panel 200 inFIG. 4 , wherein the touch elements TS of the touch panel TP may adopt the pattern as illustrated inFIG. 1A orFIG. 4 , and the bridge portions (not shown) of the touch elements TS may adopt the pattern as illustrated inFIG. 1A, 3A or 3B . In this exemplary embodiment, the substrate SUB of the touch panel TP is, for example, a cover plate, wherein the display unit DU and the touch element TS are configured at the same side of the substrate SUB, and the touch element TS is configured between the substrate SUB and the display unit DU. The surface S2 of the substrate SUB opposite to the element-disposing surface S1 is the operating surface. - In this exemplary embodiment, the display unit DU may include an active device array substrate, a display medium and a display panel opposite to the substrate. For example, the display panel may be a light crystal display panel, an organic electro-luminescence display panel, an electrophoretic display panel, a plasma display panel, an electro-wetting display panel, a field emitting display panel, or other types of display panel. Further, the touch panel TP and the display unit DU may be bonded together via an adhesive layer (not shown).
- Referring to
FIG. 6 , thetouch display panel 20 is substantially the same as thetouch display panel 10, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or similar components and descriptions thereof are omitted. A major difference between thetouch display panel 20 and thetouch display panel 10 lies in that the display unit DU and the touch element TS in thetouch display panel 20 are respectively configured at two opposite sides of the substrate SUB. More specifically, the substrate SUB is, for example, a device substrate of the display panel for carrying the display unit DU and the touch element TS. Alternatively speaking, the opposite substrate and the adhesive layer as shown inFIG. 5 may be omitted in thetouch display panel 20 of this exemplary embodiment. Moreover, thetouch display panel 20 may further include a cover plate CL for protecting the touch element TS. The touch element TS is configured between the cover plate CL and the substrate SUB, wherein the external surface S3 of the cover plate CL serves as the operating surface. - The visibility of the bridge portions in the
touch display panels FIGS. 5 and 6 is reduced because of the nonlinear design of the bridge portions (referring toFIGS. 1A, 3A and 3B ); accordingly, thetouch display panels FIG. 4 to not only enhance the visual effect but also concurrently mitigate the Moiré phenomenon generated from the optical interference between the touch element TS and the pixel array to further improve the visual quality of the touch display panel. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the disclosure. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the disclosure cover modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
